What does "GET http://127.0.0.1:4386/accounts/confirm-email/" respond with? (Don't omit the trailing "/".)
I have two installations. Both show the same, I believe. I remove some whitespace for brevity and indent for clarity

Note the absence of CSS. This should give a pointer of what is wrong. The "contact us" should ideally have more information.
The python 3.13 installation for lists.repec.info, which is brand new, I have a problem of multiple logins attached to the email address krichel@openlib.org. I follow that
https://lists.repec.info/accounts/confirm-email/Ng:1w9VGF:RwCZVc95UU8SomhAss...
The anchor "issue a new e-mail confirmation request" links to
https://lists.repec.info/accounts/login/?next=/accounts/email/
which is not a screen to get a new confirmation email, but the login. On that screen, the user names krichel or krichel@openlib.org that I remember, and the password I wrote down, lead to login failure. So the only way to get in is to ask for a password reset. The password reset generates an email just fine
https://lists.repec.info/accounts/password/reset/done/
Again, that screen has no CSS, but the email arrives. In fact, three emails arrive, each for an account I associated with that email address. These logins are krichel, krichel@openlib.org and mailman. These lead to reset the password screens, I use the same password everywhere. When I enter the passwords and confirm, I get to

this screen has no CSS. When I click that confirmation email, I am told I have confirmed, and I can login, say, as mailman.
It is still unclear to me why I am asked to confirm my email address. But so far so good. If I login as krichel, I am again asked to verify my email.
Tomorrow I will report on other installation. Users complain they can't create accounts.
